Zhongshan Traffic Police received a report at the entrance of the Kanghua Tunnel of Changjiang North Road, East District, urban area (south to north)
A traffic accident involving 11 vehicles colliding
The accident caused 6 people to be injured
After receiving the report, the traffic police urban brigade quickly arrived at the scene to deal with it. It is understood that the accident caused 6 people to be injured in , of which 2 were minors, one was 3 years old and one was 12 years old. Both were not in danger of life.
As of 16:20 that day, the traffic accident site had been handled, and the entire tunnel on the Yangtze River Road had resumed normal traffic order.
After preliminary investigation by Zhongshan traffic police, the basic situation of the traffic accident of 11 vehicles is as follows:
There was construction at the exit of the tunnel at the time of the incident, and the driving lane of changed from 3 lanes to 1 lane . The reduction of lanes caused the traffic in the tunnel to be blocked. When the driver Shen (normal driver's license) drove a Guangdong T license heavy-duty dump truck at the entrance of the tunnel (the second lane from left to right), he collided with the vehicle waiting for traffic in front, causing the accident.
After testing the driver Shen, there was no alcohol or drug-related situation. After vehicle overweight test: the total weight is 53110kg, the net weight is 40685kg, the vehicle's approved load mass is 12345kg, and is overweight 230% .
According to driver Shen, the section before entering the tunnel is a slight uphill section, so its aggravates the throttle uphill . It happened that there was an entrance and exit of the tunnel on the section of the road. I observed the situation on the right and only took braking measures when I returned to the front to find congestion. The brakes were not enough to chase the waiting vehicle in front.
At present, the accident has been investigated and handled by Zhongshan Traffic Police Urban Brigade.
The truck driven by Shen was seriously overloaded
The inertia of the emergency brake increased, causing 11 vehicles to collide
Fortunately, no death
Some truck drivers held a lucky mentality
It felt that it was not a big deal to load more goods
But when the accident really happened
even had to pay the price of life
In September 2020, a heavy semi-trailer tractor crashed into a mountain and overturned the back of the mountain. The driver of the vehicle, Huang, died . The cause of the accident was that the vehicle was seriously overloaded .
In April 2020, a blue small truck in Liuzhou, Guangxi collided with a direct cement tanker opposite when he was turning left at the intersection. He was then pushed by the cement tanker and hit a van and an electric bicycle, causing damage to the four vehicles and the driver of the electric vehicle was seriously injured and died.
After investigation, the traffic police found that the accident was also caused by serious overload: the blue small truck was overloaded by 201.7% , and the cement tanker was overloaded by 225.7% . The severe overload caused the vehicle's braking performance to be greatly reduced. It was unable to stop in time before and after the accident, which eventually led to the death of innocent people in .
Overloading of trucks is extremely harmful to
brings traffic hazards such as brake failure and tire blowout
is a serious threat to the safety of yourself and others
◆ overload increases tire pressure and is prone to tire blowout . Overload driving will deform the tires, increase friction, resulting in a shortening of the tire life, which is very prone to tire blowout accidents.
◆ overload can easily lead to braking failure and causing rollover . The truck is overloaded and the centrifugal force of increases, affecting the handling performance of the car, extending the braking distance and even causing braking failure. The centrifugal force of an overload truck when turning is much higher than that of a normal truck, and it is very easy to overturn.
◆ overload affects the service life of vehicles and public facilities . Vehicle overload will change the safety and technical performance, and critical components will be seriously damaged, such as welding points breakage, frame deformation, and excessive engine load, which will greatly shorten the service life of the vehicle. In addition, overloaded vehicles seriously damage public facilities such as roads and bridges, and may even bring a catastrophic blow to the roads and bridge structures.
Traffic Police Shu Mi reminder
Truck driver transportation to support his family
More "safety" should be put first
Consciously reject overloading and other traffic violations
Add one more guarantee for the safety of yourself and others
